Here's five cents from a random Reddit user.

Roster changes:

Kick flowsick & adreN.

Bring in Stewie2K & hades.

Now from what I've heard, hades is a good in-game leader BUT, his attitude is sort of skewed, and he's not the best fragger, but with the talent in Liquid that shouldn't matter as much, i.e Cloud9.

He has experience in qualifying to leagues/LANs with other NA teams, and with Steel, DaZeD, AZK banned there's not much better IGL's in NA except arguably arya or eley. Hades is a chance to start fresh with new leadership and tactics so they truly can rival CLG and, best case scenario, knock on the door of Cloud9 in a couple of months.

Now what about Stewie2K. Stewie2K is the average NA pro that wants to jump in on the server, get 30 kills and look at his HLTV page later on, but I believe in this guy to dedicate himself and push to be the best team in NA.

From what I know he's been willing to dedicate himself to the entry fragger role, and given that nitr0 obviously doesn't want to be the entry fragger, I think this is the better option to avoid nitr0 or elige feeling uncomfortable in the team (another discussion to be had whether this affect's player performance).

So basically with hades as IGL, he can play around with a talent like Stewie2K (he's only 17 as far as I know) as an entry fragger who will be over the moon to join Liquid and dedicate himself to CS:GO to become better, much like jdm64's motivation improved when he joined CLG, and from there nitr0 can play in his position as the star and get those kills necessary, hopefully more round-changing frags, and elige can continue to develop as the talent as they go.

I believe that a big reason why nitr0 and elige has stagnated is because of adreN's leadership, but hopefully with new leadership they can rejuvenate themselves, grow into the team and together they can become the next American team that goes to Europe and has success.

To end the comment, I know that I didn't mention Fugly a single time, but that's because he's solid. He should just keep doing what he's doing. Good times.
